Analysis

In the beginning of the episode, the mysterious British man drops of Rita off to see Michael and before Rita leaves the man mysteriously says "Don't forget your Hat" and throws it to Rita, this is the first subliminal setup for viewers to question Rita's motives towards Michael, the subliminal setup furthermore continues when Michael asks the surrogate if they ever met before and his father says through him that he hired this guy to be his eyes and ears while he's stuck in his house under house arrest, they slowly zoom in on the hat of the surrogate Larry where a camera is located subliminally linking a hat to a camera.
The setup is for the ending of the episode where Michael Tells Rita everything about the case and his family and the camera zooms in on her hat giving viewers the impression that her hat has a camera in it. giving viewers the illusion that she is there to spy on him.
